What better way to spend a lazy afternoon than with sumptuous barbecued pork sliders washed down with a wide selection of invigorating cocktails at this hotel bar.

Come hungry, because you will want to have more of these sweet-tangy barbecued pork stacked with juicy sliced tomatoes, fresh lettuce, sandwiched between two charcoal buns. Fries are served on the side.

Signature tipples including Purple Lady, a mix of gin and creme de violette, lavender syrup and lemon juice, as well as the Choco Dust. As the name implies, the latter is made for chocolate lovers, packed with a good dose of vodka, Mozart chocolate, cherry liqueur, vanilla syrup and foamed limoncello. Available until July 31.

In case you needed more reasons to indulge in soufflés, this restaurant specialises in all variations of the famed French confection. Make it a complete meal and choose between the two-and three-course set menus. The best part is that you can customise your set and choose from an à la carte menu comprising of 22 sweet and savoury creations, including hearty mains such as a Provençal-style stew showcasing the freshest seafood of the day, served with a mini lobster soufflé; and the classic boeuf bourguignon. 

Choice soufflés include the Grand Marnier with candied orange, as well as a frozen lime "soufflé". Of course, it’s worth trying the locally-inspired creations, too, such as the laksa soufflé, packed with prawns and drenched in a flavourful laksa sauce.

With pastry chef Joe Leong on board, the restaurant has launched a high tea menu that's available on weekends. This month’s theme is Taste of Asia, where Leong recreates classic, nostalgic delights through nine sweet and savoury treats.

Naturally, you’ve got updates on the quintessential chicken rice and beef rendang, but more than that, you’ll be able to tuck into the likes of macaron topped with a black sesame ganache and refreshing coconut gel, and Tropical Verrine, a lip-puckering ensemble of mango compote, coconut mousse and passionfruit cremeaux.  Complete the afternoon with artisanal teas from Tea Forte.
